    LLM output is often indistinguishable from genuine creativity. You can give it an open ended prompt like “illustrate how the world is from the perspective of an LLM” and probably get something nobody has ever seen or thought of before. People use LLMs for generating ideas as well as coming up with novel solutions like I posted. Saying it’s not creative is mysticist cope.

      Nah, people put together stuff randomly all the time. Things that most people are aware of tend to be filtered to stuff that works together.

      It is no more creative than putting pieces of paper with things on them and pulling them randomly out of a hat. AI can’t creatively come up with something new to write on one of those pieces of paper.

        That’s just denial of reality. AI comes up with new ways of “thinking” like in the math example I cited. If you call that remixing existing ideas then that could describe what all humans do and it’s questionable if any of us are creative.

          Humans mix things intentionally whether by filtering down randomized mixing or by intentionally choosing what to mix. AI just throws shit at the wall becsuse it can’t do anything intentionally.
